S&P Global Leads Strategic Investment in Kaiko, Extending Series B to $110 Million
Kaiko and Kinetiq Bring 24/7 Global Perpetual Markets Onchain
New York, December 10, 2025. Kaiko and Kinetiq pioneer 24/7 global onchain perpetual markets, powered by Kaiko’s HIP-3 oracle infrastructure.
Together, Kaiko and Kinetiq are building a new generation of global markets, completely onchain where any asset can trade around the clock with the integrity and precision expected from traditional financial infrastructure. Kinetiq’s perpetual futures platform, Markets, leverages Kaiko’s oracle infrastructure and regulated rates, enabling continuous 24/7 onchain trading of global capital markets.
As Markets adds support for new asset classes completely onchain, Kaiko provides institutional rates through a dedicated oracle infrastructure on HyperEVM that make perpetual futures on global markets possible. Kaiko’s rates act as independent benchmark index rates to Markets, while incorporating corporate actions, market closures, and real-time validation. These rates are then distributed through Kaiko’s onchain oracle on HIP-3, ensuring Markets receive accurate and continuous pricing even during low liquidity periods or outside of traditional market hours. Combined with Markets’ high-performance execution and Kaiko’s HIP-3 oracle design, this allows perpetual futures to trade safely, continuously, and predictably.
Created by Kinetiq, Markets is a fully onchain, decentralized exchange built natively on Hyperliquid. Designed as a universal, permissionless layer for every asset class, Markets brings the speed, composability, and openness of crypto to global capital markets. Global participants can expect the perpification of everything, with deep liquidity, near-instant settlement, and the most complete suite of tooling for traders. Markets is powered and co-owned by its users, who earn a share of all trading activity on the platform.
